Situation

It is possible to update the AntiVirus definitions on a Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager (SEPM) or Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) client using a downloaded .JDB file. AntiVirus definitions on SEP clients may also be updated via an Intelligent Updater (IU).

Is there a similar, standalone method for updating SEP's other protection technologies such as Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), Network Threat Protection (NTP) or Proactive Threat Protection (PTP)?

Solution

For releases prior to SEP 12.1 RU3, only AntiVirus definitions can be updated by downloading a standalone file such as a .JDB file or an IU. All other content types must be downloaded using LiveUpdate.
